Definitions
- LASER SINTERING POWDER LASER SINTERING ARTICLE
- LASER SINTERING ARTICLE AND A METHOD OF MAKING A LASER SINTERING ARTICLE Background of the Invention
- the present invention relates to a laser sintering powder useful as a raw material powder in selective laser sintering and a shaped article obtained using the same, and more specifically relates to a laser sintering powder which has low porosity and is excellent in strength and elongation. Lastly, the present invention relates to a method of making a sinterable article via 10 selective laser sintering.
- a method for producing a physical model which is materialized from a three-dimensional model designed with CAD is 20 called rapid prototyping system, rapid manufacturing system or the like.
- the rapid prototyping systems have a delivery aperture for the laser sintering powder of a maximum opening of 150 microns. Therefore the maximum particle size of the laser sintering powder is typically no larger than 150 microns to allow it to pass through the opening. Other systems may have larger delivery openings, but generally larger particle sizes mean less precise 25 definition of the laser sintered article.
- the rapid prototyping systems include selective laser sintering in which a thin layer of resin powder is selectively irradiated with a laser beam in accordance with slice data obtained by converting CAD data or the like of a three-dimensional shaped article so as to allow the powder to selectively sinter and adhere to each other. Then, another thin layer of resin powder is formed on the first formed layer.
- shaping is performed by heating a layer of a resin powder (sometimes referred to as Selective Mask Sintering), or a portion of a layer, which has been fed to a platform upon which an article is to be formed.
- the entire layer mass is heated to about the softening point of the resin powder, in order to shorten the time required for shaping, and then 5 the thin layer mass is selectively irradiated using a laser beam thereby allowing each layer to fuse with the other.
- a typical example of the resin powder currently used in laser sintering is polyamide resin.
- Polyamide resin is a semi-crystalline resin, and has a softening point corresponding to the melting point thereof. Since polyamide resin is high in laser beam absorption, it easily reaches its 10 melting point or higher temperature by irradiation with a laser beam and fluidizes so as to fuse each layer with each other.
- shaped articles obtained by laser sintering are generally in a porous state, and thus require a sealing treatment by vacuum impregnation to acquire hermeticity. Such post-treatment sealing can involve impregnating water-soluble polyurethane in the shaped article.
- the porous nature of the sintered polyamide articles is understood to result 15 from the relatively high water absorption of polyamide. Upon irradiation and heating the absorbed water vaporizes to create voids and pores.
- a laser sintering powder composition which is easily fusible and does not require such a post-treatment (especially of impregnating water-soluble urethane) has been desired.
- styrene resin such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin is 20 low in water absorption (demonstrating low porosity), and not only excellent in mechanical strength such as impact resistance but also excellent in secondary processability such as in coating and plating, and further provides transparent shaped articles.
- ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
- these resins are rigid and yield hard, rigid sintered articles. They are not suitable for the fabrication of soft and/or elastic articles.
- Styrene resin is a non-crystalline, glassy resin and has a softening point corresponding to its glass transition temperature.
- a non-crystalline, glassy resin powder is used as a raw material for laser sintering, it is required that the bed or platform temperature is maintained around its glass transition temperature. Then, a laser beam is employed to radiatively heat the material to its glass transition temperature (Tg) or higher in order to cause sintering and fusion of 30 the layers.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- the temperature of a non-crystalline, glassy resin powder is elevated slightly over the glass transition temperature by irradiation with a laser beam, the resin is still too high in melt viscosity to flow and the whole resin powder does not come to uniformly melt.
- the shaped articles tend to be porous and low in density because of the low flow characteristics.
- use of a high-output laser makes it possible to raise the temperature of non- crystalline, glassy resins much higher than the glass transition temperature. In this case, it is 5 difficult to control heating and as a result powders outside the laser-scanning region may be sintered, causing what is known as sintering swell, and impair dimensional accuracy. In this way materials may deteriorate.
- Block copolymers having high flow characteristics have been taught by Handlin in US 7,439,301. Those polymers were elastomeric styrenic block copolymers having linear or radial 10 structures and high vinyl contents.
- U.S. Publ. 2013/0225020 to Flood et al discloses many different end uses for high flow block copolymers, including slush molding, comprising a very high melt flow hydrogenated triblock copolymer of styrene-ethylene butadiene-styrene.
- thermofusible composition for 15 slush molding applications having finely divided particles of small size that is made into a skin, such as a dash board, for an automobile.
- the composition employs a selectively hydrogenated, controlled distribution block copolymer of styrene(ethylene-butylene/styrene)styrene block copolymer (S(EB/S)S).
- S(EB/S)S selectively hydrogenated, controlled distribution block copolymer of styrene(ethylene-butylene/styrene)styrene block copolymer
- U.S. Publ. No. 2011/0129682 to Kurata et al entitled Laser-Sinterable Powder and Shaped Article Thereof utilizes minor amounts of rubber reinforced styrene resins in laser sintering compositions.
- rigid, selectively hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene- styrene-type resins or random, tapered styrenic block copolymers were blended with semi- 25 crystalline polyolefins to make laser sintering compounds.
- the resulting articles are expected to be rigid.
- the present invention comprises a laser-sintering powder composition
- a laser-sintering powder composition comprising: greater than 30 to 90 wt.%, preferably 35 to 80 wt.%, and more preferably 40 to 70 wt.% of a selectively hydrogenated controlled distribution styrene-ethylene- 5 butylene/styrene-styrene (S(EB/S)S) block copolymer or a selectively hydrogenated styrene- (ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer or a mixture thereof; 10 to less than 70 wt.%, preferably 20 to 65 wt.%, and more preferably 25 to 60 wt.% of a C 3 - C 8 polyolefin, or a mixture of two or more C 3 - C 8 polyolefins; 0 to 20 wt.%, preferably 1 to 15 wt.%, and more preferably 2 to 9 wt.%
- Another aspect of the present invention comprises a method of producing a laser sintered article comprising: positioning a thin layer or portion of a laser sintering powder composition on a base support; wherein said laser powder composition, before sintering, comprises greater than 30 to 90 wt.%, preferably 35 to 80 wt.%, and more preferably 40 to 70 wt.% of a selectively 20 hydrogenated styrene-(ethylene-butylene/styrene)-styrene (S(EB/S)S) block copolymer or a selectively hydrogenated styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer, or a mixture thereof; 10 to less than 70 wt.%, preferably 20 to 65 wt.%, and more preferably 25 to 60 wt.% of C 3 – C 8 polyolefin, or a mixture of two or more polyolefins; 0 to 20 wt.%
- a further aspect of the present invention is a shaped article which results from laser sintering powder composition comprising greater than 30 to 90 wt.%, preferably 35 to 80 wt.%, and more preferably 40 to 70 wt.% of a selectively hydrogenated styrene-(ethylene- butylene/styrene)-styrene (S(EB/S)S) block copolymer or a selectively hydrogenated styrene- 10 (ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer, or a mixture thereof; 10 to less than 70 wt.%, preferably 20 to 65 wt.%, and more preferably 25 to 60 wt.% of C 3 – C 8 polyolefin, or a mixture of two or more polyolefins; 0 to 20 wt.%, preferably 1 to 15 wt.%, and more preferably 2 to 9 wt.% mineral oil; 0.2 to 1 w
- This article has low water absorption as characterized by ISO 62:2011, a tensile strength of 0.5 to 7.5 MPa as measured by DIN ISO 527-3, type 5 dumbbell specimen, at a speed of 100 mm/min., and a density of at least 0.75 20 g/cm 3 as measured by X-ray computed tomography.
- the present invention relates to a laser sintering powder composition useful as a raw material powder in selective laser sintering and a shaped article obtained using the same. More specifically articles formed from the laser sintering powder composition are dense and have low total porosity.
- the present invention relates to a method of making a sinterable article via selective laser sintering using the composition of the present invention.
- a laser sintering powder composition is made, in part, from a selectively hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer or a mixture of such block copolymers and a polyolefin having a melting temperature sufficiently close to the softening temperature of the block copolymer.
- the laser sintering powder composition exhibits a sharp decrease of 5 melt viscosity at a temperature above the highest glass transition temperature (Tg) of the block copolymer and has excellent laser sinterability.
- the shaped article obtained by laser sintering the powder has high impact resistance, excellent secondary processability, low water absorption and excellent dimensional accuracy, higher elongation (150 to 350% elongation at break), flexibility and is soft (30 to 95 Shore A).
- the selectively hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer component 10 used in the present invention is a selectively hydrogenated monoalkenyl arene - conjugated diene - monoalkenyl arene (SEBS), or a selectively hydrogenated monoalkenyl arene - conjugated diene/monoalkenyl arene - monoalkenyl arene (S(EB/S)S) obtained by sequentially polymerizing a monomer component comprising monoalkenyl arene(s) and then polymer
- the SEBS and S(EB/S)S block copolymers are elastic or rubbery in character at normal use temperatures. This results from the separate physical nature of the monoalkenyl arene blocks and the blocks comprising conjugated diene.
- the monoalkenyl arene blocks are 20 glassy at room temperature while the selectively hydrogenated blocks comprising conjugated dienes are well above their Tg and are themselves rubbery.
- Such block copolymers remain solid and will not flow, fuse or sinter (in the sense of the present invention) until they reach temperatures above their highest Tg. Their highest Tg is that of the glassy monoalkenyl arene blocks.
- Suitable monoalkenyl arene are styrene, ⁇ -methylstyrene, methylstyrenes other than ⁇ - methylstyrene, vinyl toluene, para-butylstyrene, ethylstyrene and vinylnapthalene, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Preferred is styrene.
- Suitable conjugated dienes are 1,3 butadiene, substituted butadiene such as isoprene, piperylene, 2,3 dimethyl– 1,3 butadiene, myrcene, and 1 phenyl– 1,3 butadiene or mixtures 30 thereof.
- Preferred is 1, 3 butadiene (herein referred to as butadiene).
- the molecular structure of the above block copolymer may be sequential or branched, radial or a combination of these, and the block structure thereof may be triblock or multiblock or a combination of these. Later, if desired, the block copolymer is hydrogenated in a separate step. Such hydrogenation is taught in US RE 27,145 and US 7,390,856.
- Another aspect of the present invention is to control the microstructure or vinyl content of the conjugated diene.
- the term“vinyl” means those conjugated dienes that are incorporated in the polymer chain via a 1,2-addition mechanism when 1,3-butadiene monomer is polymerized. The result is a monosubstituted olefin group pendant to the polymer backbone, a vinyl group.
- the term“molecular weights” refers to the apparent molecular weight of the polymer or block of the copolymer.
- the molecular weights referred to in this specification and claims can be measured with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene 20 calibration standards, such as is done according to ASTM D5296.
- GPC gel permeation chromatography
- polystyrene 20 calibration standards such as is done according to ASTM D5296.
- GPC gel permeation chromatography
- the chromatograph is calibrated using commercially available polystyrene molecular weight standards.
- the molecular weight of copolymers measured using GPC so calibrated are styrene equivalent molecular weights and are referred to as apparent molecular weights.
- the apparent 25 molecular weights differ from the absolute or true molecular weight when the composition of the polymer eluting through the GPC columns is different in composition from polystyrene.
- comparison to well characterized model polymers allows conversion from apparent molecular weight to true or absolute molecular weight when necessary.
